8.30am Holy Communion – St John’s, Itchen Abbas

10am AAW – St John’s, Itchen Abbas

6pm Evensong – St Swithun’s, Martyr Worthy

Thank you to the lovely group of ladies who gathered last week over coffee, biscuits and lots of friendly chatter to make 60 sheep kits that will be delivered to our families over the next couple of weeks.

I am pleased to report that two strong candidates have applied to become our new Rector and the selection panel has decided both should be interviewed.   The interviews will take place on 3^rd December and between now and then we would encourage you to pray for the process and for the right person to lead us in a new season of Parish life to be appointed.   I will be setting up a WhatsApp group to allow for more specific prayer requests relating to the process to be made known.  If you would like to join this group please contact me either via e-mail (my address isjohnwmbarber@gmail.com) or via WhatsApp or a text message (my mobile number is 07808 401485).
